"Ring Around the Rosey," woodcut 11 x 16" © 1996 by artist.Jeremiah Johnson received his BFA in Printmaking from the Tyler School

Governor's School for the arts in 1992.
"My work deals with feelings and how they subconsciously control what we do. I represent these feelings through my expressive self-portraits, figurative representations and forms selected for their deeply rooted emotional content. Feelings are greatly effected by our surroundings. Subconscious sensations generated from new light can leave a lasting visual impression in one's mind; an impression that can be overlooked by many people. I am constantly in search of these inner emotions through memories that all happen simultaneously.
"The places I've seen, the people I meet and the experiences yet to happen, are all like water in the same rushing torrent.
"Influences: I have a very diverse group of influences. From the Medieval engravers, Persian Miniatures, European Expressionists, and contemporary figurative artists, to writers like Albert Camus, William Burroughs and Irvine Welsh. A history and tradition combined with the strong influence of personal experience.
"My work is a reflection of my personal growth and development. It is a gradual process filled by experience and driven by tradition."
Jeremiah Johnson.

These pages are published in memory of Suzanne Mullett Smith who spent years locating former winners after the first 35 years of The National Society of Arts and Letters Scholarships and Awards were given. She prepared a history of former winners and amounts each won and then tracked down most of them to learn what had become of them. Most went on to become successful in their field of art or drama or literature or dance or music. We will be adding to these pages as we gain permission from the former winners to present their names to the public on the Internet. You may send e-mail to any of these through [email protected] and the mail will be forwarded to the one to whom your e-mail refers.
